No compensation for doing a Maternity Cover Management role for a whole year
Pros
Nice office, good travel discount and overall company benefits.
Cons
After only one year as a Localization Specialist, I was asked to step in for my manager who was going on maternity leave for a year. Initially, I was promised a salary increase for all the extra responsibilities and new skills needed for the role as a Quality Manager. However, I was told only a couple of days later that they decided to not give me any salary increase, as "the rules had changed after the pandemic". This was never communicated to the team to begin with. I expressed my disappointment around this and was then “guaranteed” a compensation in the salary review the following year. This compensation never happened; despite all the positive feedback I had received from the other Quality Managers in my team. Shortly after this, I realised that my hard work was never going to pay off in this company, and I therefore decided to leave EG after nearly 3 years.
